Film Podcast: Only Lovers Left Alive Is One of Our Favorite Movies This Year

April 9, 2014

On this week’s Voice Film Club podcast, this paper’s film critics discuss Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, starring Tom Hiddleston and David Gordon Green’s Joe, starring Nicolas Cage.

“I loved this movie so much,” says film critic Stephanie Zacharek of the vampire film Only Lovers Left Alive. “It might be my favorite Jim Jarmusch movie…This movie, especially being made at this point in his career…this movie is filled with mournfulness for all of these things that seem to be kind of floating out of our culture and out of grasp — the idea of actual books where you can turn a page, or records that you put on a record player and listen to, opposed to just downloading music and having it exist in some invisible cloud library somewhere.”
